What happened
AAA reported that high oil prices and geopolitical unrest are keeping U.S. gas prices elevated, with September on track to set a new record. Diesel prices also hit record highs, reaching $6.53 per gallon on Tuesday. These price spikes are linked to the six-month war with Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters
The rising cost of diesel is impacting U.S. farmers who rely on the fuel for harvesting corn and soybeans. Furthermore, the high diesel prices are prompting the Donald Trump administration to prepare for a potential 90-day diesel fuel export ban.
The ongoing Iran war is causing a pinch in recreational boating, which has led to personal impacts, such as a family moving from Colorado.
